A publishing house aspiring to weave a dialogue between images and words.

It now oversees the EpOx et BoTOx entity, maintaining its positioning regarding the printing and production method of the works (silkscreened from start to finish, and crafted by hand).

The urgency to claim more than just eccentricity or graphic singularity, to be more than an atypical and marginal niche, is becoming pressing: EpOx et BoTOx is not disappearing; it is merging into the heart of La Main Qui Cale as a collection that keeps its own catalog and will host future artist books with more sporadic releases than up until 2023. La Main Qui Cale, for its part, will publish all other forms of works (from annual or biennial journals (depending on the mood) to monographs) that can intertwine images with short stories, pamphlets, poems, essays, or cries—but never the last one.

BDFIL – Micro-publishing space

Apr 3, 2026 | Events

Our second spring outing after Dans la Gueule Du Livre will be at BDFIL, in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland, the following weekend: May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 2026.
A change of scenery and country.

But not only that: major changes – also – in the festival’s management had led us to look elsewhere these past two years, after being present at several previous editions (since 2017).
However, the motivation and dedication of the Olivier+Justine duo to maintaining the micro-publishing space within this festival convinced us to cross the border again.

In 2023, the new organization of the event relocated the micro-publishing space (previously housed in the City Hall) to the district below the station, somewhat geographically isolated from the rest of the exhibitions, and public attendance over the weekend suffered from poor communication about it.
While for reasons one can imagine as practical, the weekend will still take place in the same location, the micro-publishing “bubble” is this time an integral part of BDFIL’s quadricolor program, which even indicates metro stations to visit us and creates a link with the rest of the events by setting up an open-air exhibition along the route from the city center station.

In short, let’s take a closer look:
